Hi Matt, and Videotrack,

Thank you for writing. The registry storage location is interesting.

It's a weird thing. I've encountered it in different program versions.

I am running BIAB 2018 as administrator now. I don't recall if I did so with earlier versions. My previous version was 2010.

I open a song, normally with Song Picker. I've used the open file option in the past as well. Usually, I can find the tune in the recent songs list, even if the song is still open. To add it to favorites I go to recent songs and then select Add Fav.

However, other times I have a song open, go to the recent song list and that song isn't on the list. Usually if I repeat the process it shows up, but I use the exact same commands in each scenario.

Occasionally I'll try three times and still the odd song won't be on the recent list. That's rare but occurs.

It's not a big deal. Not a complaint, just wondering if others have seen the behavior, and know how to change it. Thank you all for your assistance.

Joel
